Essential 100, Day 1 (From YouVersion)

Starting this new year, I am going to do something different for a bit. Change can be a good thing as it can help us refocus and remind us of what is truly important. For this first 100 days of 2021, I am going to go through and write about a reading plan from YouVersion called Essential 100. This plan goes through 100 of the essential truths about God that believers should know, 50 from the Old Testament and 50 from the New Testament. I will still be writing about what stands out to me from the verses and I invite you to join me and comment on what stands out to you. If you want, you can also join the plan on YouVersion and follow along. Make sure you friend me on YouVersion, if we aren’t friends already.

The Essential 100 http://bible.com/r/P

Day 1 takes us through Genesis 1 and 2. The focus is that God is Creator. He created us and everything around us. We can know and understand our world based on the fact that we know and understand the Creator of that world. When was the last time that you stopped and looked at the world and thanked God for His creation? Thanked Him for creating you? To truly understand God, it is essential we understand He is Creator.
